Kate Bartlett: 我报道了卢旺达支持的M23叛军在刚果东部地区的活动,他们控制了戈马,并计划进一步推进。刚果总统誓言要击败叛军,但避免直接与卢旺达对抗。这场冲突的根源可以追溯到1994年卢旺达种族灭绝事件。卢旺达否认参与其中,但其他国家认为卢旺达是为了掠夺刚果的矿产资源。这场冲突给刚果人民带来了巨大的苦难,数百万人在战乱中流离失所。 Michael Sullivan: 我报道了缅甸军事政变四年后的局势。昂山素季仍然被监禁,该国陷入残酷的内战,这场冲突导致数百万人流离失所,数千万人面临严重的粮食不安全。经济崩溃,医疗系统几近瘫痪,疾病暴发。这场危机对普通民众造成了巨大的影响,他们面临着高昂的物价、失业和缺乏医疗保健等问题。
